Callooh Callay

Callooh Callay, named after Lewis Carroll's 'Jabberwocky', is an Alice in Wonderland-inspired cocktail bar on Rivington Street in Shoreditch that opened in 2008 as a pioneer of the area's cocktail renaissance. The venue features whimsical design elements including an oak wardrobe entrance leading to mirrored bar areas and cassette-tiled bathrooms, while its curated cocktail menu inspires both novices and enthusiasts. The kitchen, run by Park and Kim brand, serves smashed burgers and loaded fries alongside expertly crafted drinks. The bar has expanded beyond Shoreditch with a Chelsea location, establishing itself as a cornerstone of London's craft cocktail scene.
